For my Senior Project, I chose to do Soup Bowl Night, along with Felicia Belmontes, Brianna Schiedegger, and Trevor Collins.February 16th, 2015First started two years ago by Katie Jordan and Samantha SpeakerA fundraiser to help the Art DepartmentMake/glaze ceramic bowls; sell them I chose this project because I'm artistic and it was something I liked to do. It also supported something that is very important to me and my school because it would help raise money to support our art program and buy supplies.Reason for the decision:Short Term Goals To immediately raise money to support our art departmentHelp the public to see how important the art program is to studentsMake everyone see and appreciate our hard work of making art and finding creative ways to raise moneyLong Term GoalsMake Soup Bowl Night an annual eventRaise more profit each yearHelp this event to become more popular each yearEncourage more students to participate in it the following yearsBowls: Step 1

The first bowl I painted was "Starry Night."Started at the bottom leftSmall round brushFirst did small strokes of medium blue, then added mixtures of dark blue, turquoise, and light blue overlapping, then green and white.Step 1 ContinuedDone before glazingMoved onto painting the moon; put blue and green overlapping the yellowStarted painting bottom left and right (wrong brush)Finished by painting background; mixture of dark blue and black, then medium and light blue strokes overlappingBowls: Step 2Around one hourFirst sketched outlineThen used a medium sized round brushBlack glazing paintBlack and turquoise dotsBowls: Step 3A bowl by Pablo Picasso...Lightly sketched the outline using an HB pencilPainted left side yellow, then outlined everything in black (even lines)Then painted the red, blue, and backgroundDid geometric shapes on the outsideBowls: Step 4"Creation of Adam" by MichelangeloHB pencil; sketch the outlines lightlyTook a really long time just trying to get the hand proportionalEasy when drawing it on paper, hard drawing it on a bowl (curved surface)The thumb especially did not look right, so asked for opinions from my dad and a close friendHelped me to see that the thumb had to be slimmer Used a knead able eraser to lighten the pencil lines Step 4 ContinuedThen moved onto the next hand with just as much difficultyStarted to paint the first hand using water color under glaze paint.Started on the wrist and mixed dark brown with black, then combinations of brown and tan for the rest of the hands.Finished by painting the background light blue, and added brown lines to indicate the cracks in the wall on the Sistine Chapel.Outside with cloudsStep 5: ScarvesStart by nailing tacks into the stretcherTie rubber bands around the tacks and attach it to the ends of the scarves with clothes pins (stretching)Step 5 ContinuedAdd "resist" (glue)Let the resist dry and then completely soak the scarf in water using a spray bottlePaint using watercolor paint for fabrics with a brushAdd salt and spray againAfter drying, take off the stretcher and soak in a bucket of cold water for a couple hoursDry and iron (set)More PicturesSoup Bowl Night!Set up; tablesHelp with odd jobsLet people come up and ask questions; explain what my project was aboutMrs. Policastro wanted the Michelangelo so badCleaned upThere around 7:30Summary My Senior Project was a great experience. It was fun, but a lot of work. It was rewarding because we all got to see the result of our hard work, and raise money for our school. I sold 7 out of 12 scarves, and sold all of my bowls. People bid between $25 and $35 dollars for them. That was very surprising. Overall, I raised around $215. If I could do it differently, it would have been to manage my time better. The biggest issue I had was finding time to do this project. Since I had to work most days after school, this meant that I couldn't stay after school to work on my scarves, even though I asked for more time off. However, I feel like it prepared me more for the real world about how I should manage time better.Questions?Daughter of Rick and Diona WollineTwo sisters; Kirsten and Kaila18 years oldJehovah's WitnessDietary Aide at Wood's Crossing since June Elderly is the best partDon Quixote
